Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much are singing lessons?

Singing lessons cost $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rates can range anywhere from $40-$80. However, some vocal instructors may charge flat rates or offer packages. They may also offer 30-minute lessons for a lower price. Or, they might require monthly tuition for ongoing classes. It depends on the voice coach. 

Contact vocal instructors near you to get a sense of how much singing lessons cost in your area.

What are singing lessons like?

Every voice coach may have a different style of teaching, but here are a few things you'll likely experience during a singing lesson: 

  • Explaining to the instructor what you want to improve on.
  • Going through a few breathing and riff exercises.
  • Receiving constructive feedback and criticism from the instructor.

Before your first voice lesson, you can ask your instructor what you should expect and how to prepare.

How many singing lessons do I need?

It depends on what you’re hoping to accomplish with your singing lessons. Consult a highly rated vocal instructor to determine how many lessons you should take — and how often you should take them.

Do singing lessons actually work?

Yes, many students who’ve taken singing lessons say that their singing has gotten better. To find out if voice coaches near you have successfully taught others how to sing, read their customer reviews on Thumbtack.

What is a good age to start vocal lessons?

Whether you’re a novice or experienced singer, it’s never too late to start taking vocal lessons.

If you’re thinking about signing up your child for voice lessons, keep in mind that some instructors recommend waiting until their voice settles after puberty. Talk to voice coaches near you to find out if now's the time for you (or your child) to start taking lessons.

Where can you get singing lessons?

You can receive singing lessons from a vocal instructor or voice coach on Thumbtack. Some instructors offer virtual lessons, while others may require you to come into a studio for instruction. 

How can I find a good voice teacher?

What a great experience getting private music lessons for my daughters. Sosa was professional and did a great job getting them comfortable.

Jonah has been teaching my son guitar lessons for a few months. My 6-year old son really likes him and his lesson. He is very good at having the children engaged in music and keeping their interest on the instrument learning.

I've had two lessons thus far, so it's still early days! Shaun is patient and encouraging, as this is my first time attempting music in 20+ years! Going well thus far. =)

I am an adult and I began violin lessons for the first time a little over a month ago. Zhanna is my teacher and I think she is fantastic. I have learned a lot more than I thought I would in just four lessons. I highly recommend Upbeat Music. Everyone is very welcoming there.

Marcin has been a welcomed support to my daughter’s piano journey. He has helped guide us as a family in growing musically as well as helping to inspire her to continue learning about music as a whole. He is passionate about his work and his care for my daughter shines through in each lesson we have with him.

Rick is a great guy. A very patient teacher who incorporates electronic music production into his lessons. I had a lot of fun working on composition and would hire him to produce my songs (if I had any ;P).

Ms. Hera is a very patient teacher. My son, 9, has been taking lessons with her for more than a year and has learnt a lot up to now. He currently plays music by Tarrega, Christmas, and a lot of pop tunes!

Shaun was a fantastic beginner guitar instructor. I had never even picked up a guitar until our first lesson and I was reading music and playing songs by my second lesson. He was extremely patient, articulate and talented. He also came to my apartment which was very convenient. I would highly recommend him for anyone interested in learning how to play the guitar.

Jenny is everything we were looking for in a voice teacher. She is enthusiastic, patient with her instruction, and willing to move in different directions to find music and genres that work for our voices. My daughter (12 years old) and I both take lessons from her and couldn't be happier!!

Voice coach Linda Solotaire was very organized and provided practical exercises that help with singing and breath support. She is ready to assist in me in achieving my goals. I am confident that I will achieve my goals and look forward to more lessons with Linda of True Muse Music.

I have had several piano lessons with Takeru and am having a great time learning from him! Takeru is clearly a masterful pianist and also a great teacher. Takeru quickly assessed my level of play/knowledge and does well at covering topics/pieces that are around my level. He explains concepts in multiple different ways, which really helps me understand the music theory that we discuss. Takeru is very responsive and flexible around my schedule, and even did a lesson in person when I was visiting NYC! I look forward to my lesson every week!

Michelle is a wonderful instructor. She is patient, kind, and has been genuine and helpful throughout learning how to play piano. She has been accomodating and flexible with lesson times, has adjusted to my rate of learning easily, and has just been exceptional with helping me cultivate my music theory. Thanks Michelle!

I grew up playing the piano and took lessons as a child for 10 years. I played on and off as an adult but not for the past 5 years. Yuen Yee has made playing the piano again fun. She is focusing a lot with me on how to enhance the musicality of what I play and different techniques to play with the right dynamics and energy. Highly recommend her!

I feel so grateful to have found Jonah and cannot thank him enough for all the knowledge he has already imparted on me. After only a couple lessons with him, he has transformed the way I experience music. Working with him, I now listen to songs with a wider sense. He embodies the idea that Music is not only a song, but a language, a layered dance, and ultimately a living, breathing, changing thing. The incredible part about being his student is that he teaches you how to use your instrument to become a part of Music’s beautiful conversation.

My children had been taking lessons for the past three years and appeared to be getting weary of practicing. We decided to give them the summer off and perhaps seek out a new teacher. Jesus has revived their love of music. Now they fight for time on the piano and have stated, "He makes it fun!" They are super psyched about their recital comming this December. Thank you, Jesus for getting them back on track!

My six year old daughter has been taking singing lessons with Morgan for a month and she loves it. Not only is Morgan great with kids, she's awesome for parents. She's on time, every time and teaches till the last minute. She takes notes on each class and makes them available on google drive so we can practice on our on. She's super responsive when I have a question and my daughter is really comfortable working with her. All Around Music is responsive and helpful and their website makes it easy to find and book an instructor. I definitely recommend them.

For it being my first time taking vocal lessons I was not too pleased with the outcome. Phil ended up taking 2.5 hours of my time unknowingly when we agreed to 1 hour. It almost felt like I was attending a lecture to listen about this guy's life story. I would advise to keep the personal introduction to a minimum of 20 minutes, have the session be a lot more organized in what is going to happen and actually make it happen instead of rambling about his entire life and accreditations. He was nice, very interesting, but just not what I paid for. It would have been one thing to ask me about my experience in singing, music, or anything really but that was not the case. Within the entire 2.5 hours I was lucky enough to get a song in but forcefully when I told him its been 2.5 hours and I have to leave soon due to plans. It was pretty inconsiderate of my time and money. Would not go work with him again.
